Eric's Birthday

It was my brother Eric's 42nd birthday on September 30th. He passed away when he was just 18 years old. I can't believe it's been 24 years since his death. His favorite food was steak and lobster, so for his birthday Max and I went out with my mom to celebrate his birthday.

Clark's Haircut

Our friend's the Boyd Family were blessed with the opportunity to adopt this sweet baby boy!

(Gary Clark III) We are so happy for them!!

Here is Clark and I at Baby Gary's baby shower when Clark had a full head of white hair!

He just got a haircut and that beautiful hair is gone! But that cute boy is still there!

Clark wanted to showoff his new bracelet that Hanna made for him.

And the gum he was chewing on!
Those big lips are him saying, "CHEESE"!

He's getting too big!!

Daisy Lost Another Tooth!

Daisy's lost SIX teeth now and poor Walt still hasn't lost one.

Both her front teeth are gone! She was doing a somersault the other day 

and knocked her 2nd front tooth out with her knee.

Jenny Misc.

YES that is GUM in my hair!!

You are most likely thinking it's there because of one of my 6 children. 

Nope. It was Danny! He missed the window! Yep!

Thank goodness for the peanut butter!

Book Club Girls Night Out!

R5 Concert

Hanna and Daisy got the opportunity to go to the R5 concert and meet the group back stage because the concert was were Danny works. Hanna brought her cousin Ruby and her friend Kennedy. It was my first official concert as well! The girls were wild and crazy when the first band started at 7:30, but by the time R5 played at 9:00 we were exhausted! The girls were falling asleep on the blanket. After a little bit they got back up and played, but we left a little early. We'll have to try again when they're older.

Playing in the Rain

We don't get too many chances to play in the rain so when we do we soak it all in!

Nevada got a lot of rain that weekend.

 I love how well they play together!

Selfies

The kids were asked to turn in 5 emotion selfies to the school counselor. The best thing about these pictures is I did them at different times while the others weren't watching and they still made so many same expressions! Here are a few of my favorites!

My very favorite was Max's laughing pic. Every time he tried to make a face he would crack up, the pic. in the middle was one of those times of him busting up laughing!

Family Night

We are loving this trail right behind our house.

Clark loves it so much he actually went out on it one day with out anyone knowing he was gone. About 15 mins. later I realized he wasn't outside with Danny and we found him with some lady (helping him) on the trail. That was really scary and very embarrassing!

Happy 6th Birthday Daisy & Walt

  Can't believe these cute babies are already 6 years old!

 Happy Birthday Daisy & Walt!

We love you both so much!

We finally celebrated Daisy and Walt's 6th Birthday with friends (9/19)!

We needed to get to know some kids before having a party. It was a lot of fun!

First Day of School 2014

Walt 1st Grade

Max is at the same school as the rest of the kids just a different time.

I feel it is such a blessing to have all my kids at Doral Academy!

We are so excited for this school year!

And a C for Clark who gets to be home with mom!

Hanna Misc.

Hanna was able to help her friend Mckenna in her missionary discussions.

Hanna is peeling!

Hanna made waffles! 

She made the whole thing all by herself! Happy day for mom!

Hanna and her team the Pink Zebra's had their first game Sat. 

Hanna scored the first goal! I love soccer season! (Besides the driving).

Drive-In

It was our first drive-in movie with the kids! 

They had a lot of fun until the drive home, then everyone was cranky, including mom!

Summer Fun

 Train Ride at Meadows mall.

 Clark loves trains.

 More fun at Wet n' Wild

 Clark is getting braver.

 All the kids (but Clark) have gone down these huge water slides.

Daisy was too short most of the summer, but one day they gave her the taller band.

She was so excited to go down the big slide!

My brave kiddos!

 

Daisy went on this water slide all by her self!

Sand Hallow

We had a Michaelson Family Reunion at Sand Hallow for my Grandma Mike's 88th Birthday.

Grandma Mike with almost all her great grand children.

Grandma Mike with almost all her grandchildren.

Grandma Mike had 4 children, 13 grandchildren and 21 and counting great grandchildren.

Happy 88th Birthday Grandma Mike!

We love you!

  

Toys R Us

I took the kids to Toys R Us for the first time ever!

They all worked on breaking a bad habit for the past 3 months and earned a $20 toy each for accomplishing their goal. Max and Van stopped biting their nails. Hanna stopped peeling her nails and Daisy stopped sucking her thumb! Walt tried to stop sucking his thumb too, but after 2 weeks he gave up. Walt was the only one that didn't earn the toy, but he bought himself one with his own money. I didn't think Daisy would ever be able to pick out what she really wanted. She was showing me a new toy by the second. I'm so proud of them, believe me I know how hard it is to break bad habits! I was 12 before I stopped sucking my thumb and sadly I still bite my nails! I keep trying to break that one, but man it's hard!
